Today I bring you a simple granny square pattern for any level of crochet user, the Double Crochet Square!
This square is very simple, easy and is very commonly used in many crochet projects! Depending on what type of yarn and hook are used, on average this square is about 5-6″ all the way across.
What You Will Need:
• yarn of any color you choose (I’m using a bright red color)
• Recommended crochet hook for the yarn you choose (I am using a G-4.50mm crochet hook)
• Scissors
• Yarn Needle (I use a metal yarn needle, but any one will do)
Abbreviations:
• ch = chain
• ss = slip stitch
• st ch = stitch chain
• dc = double crochet
• sp = space
Instructions:
(I didn’t take end-round images for this pattern because it’s pretty simple and pretty much the same for each round, however if you have any questions or are have trouble, feel free to comment below or email me at [email protected].)
